Default Passaic Prospecting

Had a bit of time this morning so I stopped at a few of my favorite locations along the lower Passaic, and threw some lures for a while. Hooked and landed a nice striper, about 26", on a topwater, so they're still around.
Then I lost my lure to a blanket or something a few feet from shore, and had to stand there and look at it after breaking it off. Now since loosing a good lure stinks, and having to look at it out there afterwards is even worse, I went back to the car, put on my waders, and walked out to reclaim my lure. I ended up cutting a bunch more lures out of that blanket. We all know how much more fish-catching-mojo is in reclaimed lures, so I saved the decent ones.

Good thing there wasn't a body wrapped in that blanket. Nice haul!

I caught the striper further downstream, and the bank was a lot muddier there. Landing the fish got my shoes, my hands, and the fish covered with that oh-so-aeromatic Passaic River mud, and I wanted to get the fish cleaned off and back into the water ASAP, so alas, no fish pic for that one.

I know what you mean about the aeromatics....sometimes I have a hard time convincing myself that it's only mud!
